Barcelona might have been informed to halt their planning for the approaching summer season switch window, one thing that will stop them going for a ahead this yr. Nevertheless it’s a activity that Director of Soccer Deco can not postpone multiple extra yr.
That’s as a result of it’s seemingly that Robert Lewandowski will not be there within the 2026-27 season. The Polish veteran has been eager to hit again at criticism of his age in latest seasons, and has actually executed so with objectives this yr, already surpassing his totals for the earlier two years.
Whereas it has not been confirmed publicly, Barcelona have reportedly already agreed a deal for Lewandowski to increase his contract for subsequent yr.The previous Bayern Munich ahead did have a clause in his contract which dictated if he performed at the least 45 minutes in half of their video games this season, then he would routinely be prolonged. Nevertheless Lewandowski and Barcelona had come to an settlement as an alternative.
There had been some speak that an possibility for a second yr could be included within the deal, one thing that will probably enable them to unfold the wage restrict hit from his wages. Regardless, Sport say that it’s unlikely he will probably be there to fulfil it. Wojciech Szczesny is one other who’s near agreeing a contract renewal, and his friendship with Lewandowski is a key motive for his choice to remain. Nevertheless the Catalan day by day say that it’s ‘very seemingly’ that each will end their time at Barcelona on the finish of the 2026 season.

For the Blaugrana, the large concern is whether or not they are going to have the cash or wage restrict area to pursue a substitute. Ferran Torres has been scoring at an astounding fee this season, however there isn’t a escaping the truth that Lewandowski continues to be the highest scorer in Spain, and Torres can not take over the entire Polish striker’s minutes. As well as, each are differing profiles, and Lewandowski’s exit would depart them with out a basic quantity 9 of their squad.
